Bayern Munich hosts Benfica in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 2nd at Allianz Arena (Munich)
Bayern Munich has chances to secure a spot in the Champions League playoffs already after the upcoming match. To do this, the Bavarians need to beat Benfica and hope that Dynamo Kyiv will take points from Barcelona in a parallel match. At the moment, the Reds are solely leading the group standings, having scored nine points in three rounds. The gap from the 2nd position is five points. In addition, the Bavarians have scored 12 goals and have not conceded a single one so far. Fantastic! In the last ten home matches in the Champions League, Bayern Munich has scored at least two goals against its opponents. Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in three games of the current tournament.

Despite the defeat to Bayern Munich in the last round, Benfica remains on the 2nd line in the group standings. The Eagles have four points, and the gap from the 3rd Barcelona is one point. Jorge Jesus' charges have had rather good results in away matches in the Champions League. In the last five games, they gained one victory and three draws and suffered only one defeat. Benfica's last three away games in the Champions League ended with "Both teams to score — no". In the previous nine matches on foreign pitches, the Eagles have never scored more than two goals against their opponents.
Of course, the visitors want to take revenge on Bayern Munich. But I urge you to be realistic. When Bayern Munich is motivated, it simply has no equal. And if we look at the Champions League matches, the Bavarians are not just motivated but super-motivated. Moreover, now they have to play on their native pitch. The Portuguese may well concede a bunch of goals again. I think that the visitors will act more deeply in defense, so as not to leave a lot of space for the attacking footballers of the Reds. Be that as it may, the Bavarians must score their two or three goals.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to score over 2.5 goals
